The live fortune telling is so accurate that the whole network is waiting to watch.

Pawning wives has a long history, at least a thousand years old.

It is not uncommon among the lower classes of society.

In a man's mind, his wife is private property.

But pawning their wives would still make them feel humiliated.

Especially in their town, there is a chastity arch granted by the emperor, and the residents of the town have to walk under the arch when going back and forth.

That is the face of the gentry and officials, how can we allow them to be smeared at will?

So when pawning their wives conflicts with their face, they think of finding a fig leaf to cover themselves up.

They decorated the fig leaf with the legend of the Tan God, making others believe that the women who were pawned were just serving the gods.

And the family who pawns the wife will of course keep it secret for the sake of their own face.

Gradually, the legend of the Tan God became more and more mysterious.

Aying was sold to a man in his fifties, and was tortured by him every night. Soon she became pregnant.

She gave birth to a son as her first child.

But before she had time to take a closer look, the child was taken to the wet nurse.

From then on, she was trapped in a small yard and often heard the crying of a baby from next door.

That was her child crying.

But she, the biological mother, was not allowed to even take a look.

The milk squeezed her breasts so hard and painful that she had to endure piercing pain even to lift her hands.

But not a drop of this rich milk falls into the child's mouth.

She was trapped in the small yard like a prisoner, enduring day after day.

Every night when the master came to her room again to spend the night sowing seeds.

While lying on her belly, the old man would occasionally say a few soft words.

But when he put on his trousers, he became cold-blooded and ruthless, and didn't even allow her to see the child.

In the third year, she gave birth to another son.

The master was very pleased with her and wanted to extend the lease for another year.

But the lady refused to agree to anything, and after some persuasion, she sent her away as scheduled.

No matter how many children she gave birth to, they did not belong to her.

She was a woman who was pawned, and during the period of pawning, her body and the children she gave birth to all belonged to the landlord.

The only thing that comforted her was that she could support the two children at home with the money she earned from selling herself - at least the two children were still waiting for her to return!

When she left, it was her husband who personally saw her off.

When she came back, it was still her husband who took her back.

After not seeing each other for three years, the man has become thinner, his eyes have become dimmer, and he exudes a decadent aura.

"Where are Tiewa and Erya?"

The man paddled the small wooden boat and said only one sentence: "Let's talk about it when we get home."

It was still pitch black in Tanshen Cave. The red cardboard lantern on the bow of the boat was swaying, and the blood-red light was also swaying.

But this light is too dim to illuminate the darkness of the times...

When Ah Ying returned to the town again, she saw the majestic and exquisitely carved chastity archway at the entrance of the village and felt it was extremely ironic.

But living in this era, standing under this archway that is as heavy as a mountain, she is really powerless to resist anything.

The only thing she missed was her two children at home.

The children at home are her only hope in recent years.

As soon as she stepped into the house, she couldn't wait to call her child's nickname.

No one answered.

There were no children in or outside the house.

"What's going on?" She turned to ask her husband, "Where's Tiewa? Where's Erya? They should be three and a half years old. Did they go out to play? Where's Mom?"

The husband hesitated and asked several times before he said, "Now that you are back, we can have another child. Let's have another child, whether it is a girl or a boy."

It turned out that during the three years she was away, her husband had been idle and addicted to gambling.

He squandered all the money he got from pawning his wife, and even incurred a lot of gambling debts, which angered his mother to death.

After he arranged his mother's funeral, he was faced with a mountain of debts that he was unable to repay, so he made up his mind to sell his three-year-old son.

As for my daughter... such a young girl, no one would want her even if I gave her away for free.

So, he simply threw her aside and left her to fend for herself.

This bolt from the blue completely crushed Aying.

She went crazy and searched everywhere for her child.

Unable to find the child, she sat under the memorial archway and cried loudly, while crying she advised the women watching: "Don't go to Tanshen Cave! It's a place where people are eaten, and they only eat women's bones and blood!"

She laughed wildly again: "Haha... there is no such thing as a god. That's just a cover for selling a woman's belly for money!"

She smiled and lifted her clothes to show her belly: "Four children crawled out of my belly, but I can't find any of them. Where are my children? Where did my children go?"

"Ah! I heard them crying, crying! My sons, don't blame me for being cruel, I didn't abandon you!"

"My Sons, Where Are You?"

The crazy woman rudely tore off the veil of Tanshen Cave.

One night, she died quietly in the river.

From then on, there was one less poor woman in the world.

In another place, there was a ghost girl paddling a small boat.

She paddled a small boat to search for her child, and also led the soul of a baby girl who did not want to reincarnate into the Mother and Child River to let her rest in peace.

A century of light and shadow gently passed by under her oars.

She didn't know what the world outside had become.

All she knew was that fewer and fewer baby girls were being extradited.

In the Tanshen Cave of the past, there is no longer any woman who was secretly pawned away.

Until one day, by chance, she met eight female students again.

In front of the cave entrance, they knelt down and worshipped the "Pond God", telling him that they were about to go on a long journey and were ready to exchange their young bellies for money.

More than 100 years have passed, and thanks to the efforts of countless martyrs, the dark times and cannibalistic system should have been gone forever.

But that night, the eight innocent modern female students crossed the space, crossed the yin and yang, and saw a small wooden boat coming out of the darkness.

The red paper lantern on the bow swayed gently in the evening breeze, illuminating the bow and the ripples on the water, but it could not illuminate the darkness in people's hearts.

As the boat sailed away, the eight girls disappeared with it.
